Health Equity Roundtables Dialogue Highlights

The Health Equity Roundtables were held on December 5 and 6, 2007, hosted by The Wellesley Institute, Toronto, Ontario. Thirty five participants, bringing together service providers, policymakers, researchers and advocates active in health equity, met to talk about current policy openings and opportunities to move health equity forward into action in Ontario, the dynamics of health equity principles, the reality of current health equity practice, and possible next steps. These Dialogue Highlights reflect the main points of discussion, consensus, common themes, and different perspectives expressed over the two Roundtable days.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
